Join The Nature Institute with others in the St. Louis Region by participating in the STL City Nature Challenge 2018. This exciting effort will involve 65 cities around the world -- each striving to observe as many species of plants, birds and animals as possible during the City Nature Challenge period, April 27-30, 2018.

Participate on your own, or join some of the TNI's scheduled activities or other host sites around the St. Louis region.

Monday, April 30 | Wildlife at Work Check for biological species outside of places of work and in business areas of the City and region.

This day is all about where you work. Work in the City? Record it! Use your break times wisely this day and head outside of your office doors. Record what you see using the iNaturalist app in real time. Use the app on your smartphone or take a photo with your camera and upload later to http://www.inaturalist.org. Help us showcase the Riverbend's biodiversity!

The Nature Institute is excited to be a host site for this challenge with the City of St. Louis, MO Botanical Garden, STL Zoo and more to represent the Madison County region for this challenge. Be sure to drop by and record what is on TNI trails or download a kit for your school or work place!
